Queen Sofia is already in Ibiza, where on Wednesday she chaired a meeting with representatives of the Spanish Federation of Food Banks (FESBAL) to prepare the Great Food Collection 2025.
The meeting took place within the work agenda that the monarch maintains on the island, and in it she reaffirmed her commitment to the fight against food poverty, announcing a donation of 20,000 euros to the campaign.
As reported by the Queen Sofia Foundation, during the meeting the current challenges of the Food Bank of the Balearic Islands were addressed, especially in view of the increased demand for basic aid among the most vulnerable families. The Great Food Drive will be held from November 7 to 9, with the aim of collecting the equivalent of 10 million kilos of food to serve more than one million people in need.
From the Food Bank of the Balearic Islands have thanked the support of the Foundation and have valued the “sustained commitment over time” of Queen Sofia, which, they emphasize, has allowed to reach thousands of people across the country.
